The blurb:
Her
best friend's wedding...
When Alex Munro learns
that the love of her life is getting married to another girl, all she wants is
to be alone - and as far away from Edinburgh as possible.
Moving to a Cornish
cottage, which comes complete with the world's scruffiest dog, Alex finds that
her new neighbours are determined to involve her in their madcap Christmas
festivities.
Then she meets her sexy
neighbour Ruan - and somehow Alex doesn't want to be alone this Christmas after
all. But having lost one fiancé, Ruan has no intention
of letting anyone get close to him again...
My Opinion:
When I saw the book for the
first time I was instantly drawn to it’s cover, it’s so beautiful =) Then I
read the blurb and knew: I have to read this book.
It's a wonderful novel
about Alex, who just went to the other end of England to escape from everything
at home. With a broken heart and the lost of trust she starts her new life.
She meets Ruan and as a
reader I instantly felt their connection. It actually took them much longer to
realise it. They both also had other things to deal with, issues from their
past, which always came in between.
I couldn’t put the book
down, the writing is amazing and emotional.
I loved Alex as the main
character and could really connect with her. The book is open for controversial
topcis, which I think is great.
Definitely worth
reading!!! Can’t wait to read more of Scarlett Bailey.
I have to say I’m not a
big fan of dogs (trauma since childhood) and Alex didn’t like dogs either.
Well, yes I used the past on purpose. It was great to see how she got closer to
Buoy.
This book is the most perfect
and an amazing Christmas story and it instantly gets you into the Christmassy
spirit. Alex is a wonderful heroine and the way she is handling her situation
is inspiring.
The story is full of
drama, emotions and everything about it is so authentic.
Never felt closer to
characters in a book.
Ruan is a typical man on
one side, but once you get closer and get to know him, he’s just everything a
girl wishes for.
Oh and I love the choices
of names (Ruan and Buoy), it’s not just normal names, which I think is really
great.
Go buy the book now, it’s
definitely more than worth it. I can’t even find enough words to describe how
great it is. <3 <3 <3
